The Love You Give Away

The Love You Give Away - Chris Turner, Jordan Rainer, Kevin Brandt

That White Oak tree's still standing in the yard
On that proud little Carolina Farm
It didn't look like much to my brother and me
It was 18 boyhood summers of memories

It's where we learned to cast a line and drive a truck
Where working hard was how to earn a buck
Yeah we fixed some cars, raised some hell, If that place could talk
Lord the stories it would tell

We were.. Thick as Thieves
We were wild and free
We always stuck together him and me
We fought each others fights,
Somehow we, Turned out alright
Cuz After all it's like my Momma used to say
You're only as strong as the company you keep
And the love you give away

He bailed me outta jail that time never told mom
But man he chewed my ass out all the way home
He was my voice of reason, the reason that I am
A better father, a better husband, a better man

We were.. Thick as Thieves
We were wild and free
We always stuck together him and me
We fought each others fights,
Somehow we, Turned out alright
Cuz After all it's like my Momma used to say
You're only as strong as the company you keep
And the love you give away
The love you give away

Never had a clue I found out to soon
Time was an enemy
Now the families gathered underneath that White Oak tree
it's hard to believe
This was our little piece of heaven back in the day
But today heaven never felt so far away

We were.. Thick as Thieves
We were wild and free
We always stuck together him and me
I couldn't fight his last fight
But I know he's alright
Even though God knows I miss him every single day
The Love You Give Away
